And we don't know whether the G4 will have the S810 or the 808 and how good the battery will be with 808. And if LG is using the 3000 again or only bumped to like 3200mah.

So we will have to wait for battery results.
Though I have good goes for display and camera quality.

And from anyone S2 or before and before android Samsung made their own sensors and breast Sony. When they use Sony sensor they still beat Sony

And obviously most phones don't seem that great compared to 1020 in camera.

I hope this time real life result will improve by that much.....
Before every big launch, almost every manufacturers claims something like this but the real world result aren't that much different. Just keep in mind Samsung's isocell sensor, what they claimed before the launch of galaxy s5. I'm using Lumia 1020 as my primary phone and note 4 as my secondary.

That phone will give other manufacturers a run for their money.However, I don't believe it will be like 80% more than the already splendid in low light G3 camera but it will certainly be a huge improvement with an aperture like that.
Anyway the G4 will be the beast of this year,and I guess no one will complain about battery life anymore because Samsung now have used QHD right? Damn fanboys were complaining last year about how the G3 QHD was too much for a 5.5 inch screen and now with the S6 has 5.1 QHD display.

MHanz, 09 Apr 2015No it's not, no one cares about relative factors. Sure it's efficient but at the end of the da... moreWell said...Cancerous trend it is indeed. What's up with all these anorexic phones that sacrifice battery capacity leaving the consumer with a nice phone that can barely give the owners 6 hours onscreen time.

Like i have said many times..give me an 8" to 10" thin phone with a Huge 4000+mAh battery any day. Will be a plus plus plus if it is removable. I really do hope LG keep both Removable battery and SD card slot add all the other innovative new specs to that plus thin bezels...seems we might have a flagship winner with this one.

SOME SMARTPHONE MAKERS LIKE SONY, SAMSUNG AND LG HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES BEACAUSE THESE COMPANIES ARE NOT JUST MAKING SMARTPHONES BUT THEY HAVE THEIR OWN RESOURCES TO PRODUCE SOMETHING MIGHT MAKE THEIR SMARTPHONES EVEN BETTER THAN OTHERS...

LG Innotek Develops Its Widest Aperture Camera Module

LG Innotek Brings Brighter and Clearer Solutions to Smartphones

Seoul, Korea, Apr. 09, 2015 – LG Innotek, a leading global components and materials manufacturer, announced the development of a groundbreaking 16MP camera module with an aperture of f/1.8, making it LG Innotek's widest aperture camera developed for a smartphone. The advanced camera module began mass production at LG Innotek's plant this week and will be unveiled to consumers for the first time in the LG G4 later this month.

The advanced design of the camera module means that it receives 80 percent more light than in the highly praised camera found on the LG G3. More light means better looking images in low light environments and less blur when shooting action and fast moving objects. Large apertures on smartphone cameras has been challenging to develop due to the complexity and size of developing modules that must fit in the very limited space of today's smartphones.

Furthermore, in response to the explosive growth of selfies, LG Innotek developed an 8MP front-facing camera module, its highest resolution for a front camera to date. This high resolution module's ultra-thin IR filter keeps infrared light from entering the camera lens, giving images taken with the front camera more natural and accurate colors. The 0.11mm thin filter is roughly half the thickness of competing IR filters.

"At LG Innotek, we are constantly working to ensure that the cameras we develop allow users to capture and preserve the moments that are most special to them," said Ung-beom Lee, CEO of LG Innotek. "We are extremely excited to see our technology in LG's next flagship smartphone because we believe that the power, precision and operability of our camera module will clearly make an impression on consumers."
